Yes, a very peaceful spot in the midst of a very busy city. Tofukuji Temple is well worth seeking out. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Another excellent video. Looking forward to the next one!

Thanks for watching and yes, Kyoto has some excellent gardens, but to avoid the crowds at Kenroku-en, you must get there early.

Your videos are very useful ever for Japanese like me. I have been missing many many great places and experiences even though I was born and grew up in Japan! Thanks for making me realized the unknow gems!

@@user-hx9eg9yc8b Thank you for subscribing and visiting our website. Josephine's family history provides us with a unique perspective on Japan. Her sister still owns the family house north of Nagano. The Nagoya video will be out at 22:00 Japan Standard Time (9:00 in the eastern U.S.) Saturday. Thanks again for commenting and enjoy the next video!

We were in Kyoto about 10 years ago, it was so nice to get a narrative from John of some of the sites we visited. Well done.

Glad you like them. Despite the crowds of Kyoto, there are still many places one can enjoy the authentic city in peace. Thanks for watching and commenting!

You can walk on the highest ceiling pedestrian walkway (catwalk) of JR Kyoto Station for free.

Oh yes! The Cube at Kyoto Station is a fun place to explore and that skywalk provides a great viewing platform. There are numerous restaurants on that floor. Our favorite was a soba restaurant where we could dine and look down onto the scene below, but it closed a couple of years ago and replaced with something else. Thanks for the comment and watchin!

Yes, in some places, but those places tend to be in one of three big destinations: Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. If one ventures beyond these cities to places like we highlight in our Takayama, Sasayama and Kanazawa videos, the experience is totally different. Tohoku up north or south toward Kyushu are places that offer tremendous cultural experiences yet without the crowds. But even in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, one can find places that are still authentic without the crowds. Thanks for the observation and watching!
